Su Huaiyuan: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Crown Prince Yan Beichen waved his hand, and soon a bodyguard appeared on the pleasure boat. After giving some instructions, the bodyguard immediately disappeared.
[Guagua, is this the bodyguard?]
[That's right, host, don't you have Shen Weiming? He's much stronger than ordinary bodyguards!]
Su Huaiyuan: Envious!
That was the deputy commander of the Dragon Shadow Guard. Now he's following Shen Mingzhu, living a life of luxury, and both sides are very satisfied.
Especially since Shen Weiming even had a ten-day leave to go back and see his brothers, wow, everyone is so envious!
[Guagua, quickly help me find out who the spy is meeting with. I need to think of a way to tell His Highness the Crown Prince that no one can be allowed to endanger the stability of Great Yan.]
Hearing Shen Mingzhu's words, Yan Beichen was still very gratified.
He also wanted to hear more information, which would help him capture everyone in one fell swoop.
[Host, this person is Xue Kaijie, a sixth-rank official. Sitting next to him is Liu Wentong, a scholar from the north who has come to take the imperial examination.]
[Guagua, are spies from enemy countries really this brazen now? They've even infiltrated the Great Yan court as officials? And this contact is actually a scholar from the north taking the imperial examinations? What's going on? Are they even recruiting reserve officers?]
[Host, there's nothing we can do about this student Liu Wentong. His entire family, except for him, has been captured by the Hu people. If he doesn't send a message back, his whole family will be killed! As for Lord Xue Kaijie, he's purely corrupted by money and women. There's nothing we can do; the Hu people have offered him too much!]
[Guagua, the fact that the Hu people gave him too much is not a reason for him to betray his country! Keeping such a person in the court is like putting a rat in a rice jar! If we promote him again, will our Great Yan still have any secrets?]
Crown Prince Yan Yan Beichen's face was ashen, and anyone who saw him could tell what he was feeling.
Su Jiumei's face turned deathly pale as she experienced something like this for the first time. Was this something she could even hear?
"Safety?"
"It's alright, we'll definitely be safe."
The two unconsciously moved closer to Tian Xuezhou.
Tian Ping'an: My father is a great general, he can protect us!
Tian Xuezhou: Having a son like you is truly my blessing!
Soon, another bodyguard went out and conducted a detailed investigation into Cheng Zhilang Xue Kaijie's network of connections.
According to the "Great Yan Laws," those who plot rebellion and treason will have their entire family executed!
[Host, it's alright, Lord Xue's death is not far off!]
[Guagua, which pleasure boat is Xue Kaijie on?]
[Host, it's on your right!]
Why...
Shen Mingzhu felt that communicating with Guagua today was somewhat difficult.
She glanced at the feline overlord in her arms, then silently led it to the right side of the pleasure boat.
Yan Beichen had been keeping an eye on Shen Mingzhu's movements. Seeing her go to the right, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to the right-hand pleasure boat.
He quickly understood what Shen Mingzhu was up to.
Shen Mingzhu rubbed the cat's back a few times, mumbled something to it, and soon a fireball appeared on the right-hand side of the pleasure boat.
"Aaaaaah!!! Fire!"
How could there be a fire?
"Help!!!!"
They originally thought they would burn out Xue Kaijie and Liu Wentong, but instead, Shen Jiaojiao, Zhou Hanchuan, and a young master in a moon-white robe emerged from the painted boat.
Their eyes met, and Shen Jiaojiao's eyes turned red.
"Shen Mingzhu, it's you!"
"Consort Shen, what nonsense are you spouting? Everyone is watching. Be careful, or I'll tell the Empress Dowager and let her be the judge."
[Guagua, wasn't Shen Jiaojiao copying "Women's Virtues" and "Women's Admonitions" at the Xuan Prince's mansion? How did she end up on the pleasure boat?]
The system is helpless.
[Host, do you think it's possible that all female protagonists are destined to focus on their careers?]
[Guagua, doesn't she have to wait until after she finishes her punishment to focus on her career?]
[Host, is there any possibility that this opportunity will be lost forever? The disciples of the Divine Doctor Valley have gone to great lengths to come to Shengjing, so they naturally want to seize this chance. If Shen Jiaojiao doesn't take advantage of this opportunity, They'll be lured to the north by your second sister-in-law to become a military doctor!]
Tian Xuezhou stared wide-eyed, actually trying to snatch the military doctor from the soldiers of the North.
Hateful!
He's going to submit a memorial to the Emperor's concubine tomorrow!
Su Huaiyuan frowned and looked at the painted boat next to him. The fire inside the boat was burning brighter and brighter, and soon people went to rescue it.
[Guagua, have you found Xue Kaijie and Liu Wentong's pleasure boat?]
If all else fails, we can have our feline overlord throw a fireball.
"Ah! How can this fire not be put out!"
"Come here quickly!"
Soon, chaos erupted around them, while only the pleasure boat where Shen Mingzhu and her group were leisurely observing their surroundings.
By this time, the Imperial Guards had sealed off the lakeside, and everyone who came ashore was taken into custody.
[Host, we've found them! Look at the right 45-degree angle, they're there!]
Soon, Yan Beichen, Tian Xuezhou, and Su Huaiyuan also saw Xue Kaijie.
Looking at the shifty-eyed man, the group was furious.
He's finished!
Looking at Yan Beichen not far away, Xue Kaijie's heart skipped a beat. Why is the Crown Prince here?
There were also Scholar Su and General Tian.
Why were there so many imperial guards on the shore? He felt a sudden, inexplicable panic.
His heart told him, "Don't go ashore, don't go ashore, don't go ashore!"
[Guagua, why did Xue Kaijie let the boatman sail away? Did he discover something?]
Liu Wentong's state of mind was completely different from Xue Kaijie's. Seeing the Imperial Guards on the shore, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Will it be discovered?
Seeing that Xue Kaijie was about to run away, Yan Beichen gave the order directly.
"Men, seize him!"
The imperial guards on the shore and the secret guards in the shadows flew directly to the pleasure boat where Xue Kaijie and his group were. Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Xue Kaijie took out a small jade bottle and swallowed a pill inside.
Crown Prince Yan Beichen and the others watched Xue Kaijie's actions with icy expressions.
When things were exposed, he took poison directly, decisively and without hesitation. Whose face was he slapping?
If spies can infiltrate the court, how many people in all walks of life in Shengjing are there?
The key point is that in the end, the person simply took poison, not giving them any chance to make amends.
Hsieh Kai-chieh: Given the inevitable end, I would rather die a quick death than suffer torture and be executed.
The ending was known before it even began.
Soon, the matter was handed over to the Court of Judicial Review, the Censorate, and the Ministry of Justice for a joint trial, determined not to let anyone go unpunished.
[Guagua, Xue Kaijie is dead just like that?]
Yes, host.
[What about his accomplices? Don't tell me that this is the only informant the Hu people have in Shengjing.]
[Host, there's a list inside Xue Kaijie's pillow, a directory of spies. Just tell His Highness the Crown Prince.]
"Alright then, we must wipe them all out in one fell swoop, or the consequences will be dire."
People sit in the palace, but matters come from outside.
Emperor Jingyuan had finally found himself with a lighter workload today, but before long a report came that the Crown Prince and others have captured a spy from an enemy country.
"This is outrageous!"
Emperor Jingyuan was furious!
